Incidentally, Season 1 of “Narcos” had plenty of narration and voiceover because it deeply dwelt on the life of Pablo Escobar.
The narration or the voiceover became important during the premiere season of the hit TV series because the show was designed to cover 15 years over 10 episodes. The showrunners cannot do the intermittent time jumps in the storyline without the explanatory voiceover or the viewers would be lost.
It seems that such voiceover feature that highlighted most of Season 1 would be lesser when its Season 2 premieres on Netflix this coming August.
The confirmation came from Eric Newman, co-executive producer of “Narcos” along with Jose Padilha.
In a recent interview, Newman said that during the first season, “Narcos” needed to share a lot of information and a lot of set-ups. He added that the show needed to tell its viewers about the world, though the cast members and the production staff all find it a joy working and filming in Colombia.
Having established a good premise for Season 1, the second season of “Narcos” shall be spending more time with the people in the world that was established during the premiere season, adds Newman.
